Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

    This Report Includes Historical Photographs of Aboriginal People Who May Have Died, Which May Cause Sadness and Distress to Their Relatives

    Manunka Mission Site – Heritage Assessment This report includes historical photographs of Aboriginal people who may have died, which may cause sadness and distress to their relatives. Care and discretion should be used when viewing these images. DASH Architects and Peter Bell 1 Manunka Mission Site – Heritage Assessment HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Manunka Mission Site PLACE NO.: 26458 Address: off Manuka Road, Forster, South Australia SUMMARY The place may have cultural significance to local Aboriginal people apart from the operation of Manunka Mission, however this is outside the scope of this assessment and it is covered under different legislation (i.e. the former occupation of the land and Aboriginal burials on site), that being the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 (SA). The Manunka Mission Site is not considered to meet any of the heritage significance criterion under Section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993 (SA), and is not recommended for State Heritage listing. Whilst the story of how Janet Matthews operated the non-sectarian mission after her husband’s death along with her family is of some historical interest, her story is recorded in historical accounts and the site is not considered to have sufficient integrity to demonstrate important cultural or historical associations with the Manunka Mission. BRIEF HISTORY OF PLACE: The Manunka Mission Site is located on the eastern side of the River Murray in the area of Forster, about 70km by river north of Mannum (Figure 1). A mission for Aboriginal people operated there from 1902 to 1912.

    Prevalence Estimates 2021-2058

    Dementia in Australia Prevalence estimates 2021-2058 Dementia Australia is the source of trusted information, education and services for the estimated half a million Australians living with dementia, and the almost 1.6 million people involved in their care. We advocate for positive change and support vital research. We are here to support people impacted by dementia, and to enable them to live as well as possible. No matter how you are impacted by dementia or who you are, we are here for you. Dementia is the term used to describe a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. Dementia is not one specific disease, it is an umbrella term for a large group of illnesses which cause a progressive decline in a person’s mental functioning. Most people with dementia are over 65 years, but it is important to remember that not all older people get dementia. It is not a normal part of ageing. There are an estimated 472,000 people living with all forms of dementia. Without a major medical breakthrough this figure is projected to increase to 1,076,000 people by 2058. This document presents the breakdown of Dementia Australia’s national prevalence data by state and territory. National Dementia Helpline 1800 100 500 For language assistance call 131 450 Find us online dementia.org.au Australian Capital Territory (ACT) In 2021, there are an estimated 6,360 people living with dementia in the Australian Capital Territory.
